How will the worm in my brain survive without these nutritious bacteria‽

They already publish on F-Droid. It sounds like it was just a lot of built-up frustration from the last several years of Google blocking apps that require storage permissions and making it difficult to get restored to the Play store.

This was the bug from the last removal. They were going back and forth with Google unproductively for months. Hopefully the existing fork (which was also taken down from the Play store) can keep going on F-Droid.

Same here. Tried it out and it’s been great for a few months. I was just about to get some family members set up using it.
